Sexual Misconduct

• Title IX - "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance..." 

• Trinity College prohibits sexual discrimination and harassment, including rape, sexual assault, and all other forms of sexual misconduct. In addition, the College prohibits intimate partner violence, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, retaliation, and other forms of prohibited conduct, as defined in the Policy on Sexual Misconduct. 

• The term “sexual misconduct” includes all of the preceding categories and all forms of non-consensual sexual contact prohibited by state and federal law. The College takes allegations of sexual misconduct seriously and has established procedures for the reporting and prompt, fair, and impartial adjudication of sexual misconduct complaints, from the initial investigation to the final result. The Policy on Sexual Misconduct applies to all members of the Trinity College Community whether on campus or away.

• Please note, for Study Away Programs, the Policy on Sexual Misconduct is applicable in addition to the law of the jurisdiction governing a particular program. 

• While Title IX is a U.S. federal law that does not extend to other countries, Trinity is committed to assisting and supporting students abroad who are victims of sexual harassment and misconduct. Students participating in all study abroad programs have access to all Title IX contacts and resources in Hartford as well any resources available abroad.
